in the cartoon channel they rated this game a 10 out of 10!!!(even ny of the mario games i.e. mario sunshine (wich was rated 9,5) no mario game has hit 10) i haven't seen any other game get a scoring like that, so i am guessing you SHOULD buy the game even if it is bad or good, if its just too much of a kids game just give it as a gift to your brother or something.
